Condition

Overall in excellent original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a more intense purple than seen in the catalogue illustration, which contrasts beautifully with the white and yellow flowers. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with light surface soiling, a few isolated and minor surface scratches and wear to the gilding consistent with age and gentle handling. A great example with strong presence when viewed in person.
